The blue TARDIS doors were beckoning her towards them as they made their way through the chilled streets of Paris and towards it. As usual, it was easily spotted along the streets that it lined. She used to laugh at how obviously out of place it was, but now, it was as if she had returned to her home. There was no need for her laughter, only her tears.

"Once we have a nice chat, we can head over to your hotel and get your clothing if you'd like, then I drop you off in Leadworth." Her feet ceased their movement as she looked him, his arm extended as he began trying to unlock the TARDIS, the child in his arms preventing him from having fully functional access. Leadworth. The word was echoing through her mind. What? Did he think that he was going to have a conversation about how he left and reminisce with her and then leave again? Did he think that if he vanished again it would do nothing to Amy or Eden? Was he that selfish? Her entire time with the Doctor she had loved his martyrdom attitude towards everything that he took part in, it was one of those things that made her strive to become a better person, but for him to think that she was going to watch as he walked out on her after he had returned, he had another thing coming to him. "What do you mean 'drop me off'? You know, we came here to get away from life for a while, not for you to come and take us right back."

He sighed as he turned back around to face her, his eyes looking down to the child his arms before returning to the hazel ones across the way. "That's not what I meant, please, just come inside."

Everything was quickly running through her mind, every thought centered around what returning to the TARDIS would mean. She knew that the moment Eden saw what the blue box held, there would be no turning back. How could she take from her daughter what was so rightfully hers? She couldn't. But the Doctor wouldn't leave her behind, not after all this time. "Fine," she muttered as she moved forward, the Doctor holding back until she crossed the threshold. "One condition though," she said as she turned to look at him, the grey battling confusion and curiosity as he waited for her to speak once more. "I get to show Eden inside."

He smiled as he gently lifted her from his chest, listening to her slight protest before moving towards her mother. He tried not to listen in to their private conversation, mother and daughter lost in whispers as Eden's head rose from Amy's shoulder, but he couldn't help but notice the smile that graced her youthful features.

"You ready?" She muttered as she gently walked forward, Eden's head spinning round to look at the room before her in awe.

Her little eyes leapt from fixture to fixture as she struggled in her mother's hold, she wanted to be free of her grasp, for her to let go so that she could feel everything. She had to touch it in order to believe it all. Her mother had told her time and time again about the wonders of the TARDIS, about how it would amaze her and intrigue her. She had no idea that it would be like this. The walls were like that of nothing she had ever seen before, 'like the coral reef' her mother had said when tell her of all the wonderment. "It's beautiful," she muttered as she was placed on the ground, her small feet pattering in the empty room. The center console had finally caught her eye, the great knobs and switches so tempting to her small hands yet she knew that one switch could send them spinning somewhere she did not want to go. 'He thought he knew where he was going yet most of the time we ended up in all these other places. He always leaves the parking brakes on too.' "What do you think?" He was leaning down beside her, his head beside hers as she glanced around the room. She couldn't help the smile that continued to grow upon her lips as she turned to look at the man that was her father. "It's like a fairytale."

Another short one, I know, but I'm trying to get it all sorted out before I really get into writing it.

Reviews are loved.
